NASA and STScI Select 17 Hubble Fellows for 2013

April 9, 2013: NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) have announced the
selection of 17 new Hubble Fellows. The Hubble Fellowship Program now includes all
research relevant to present and future missions in NASA's Cosmic Origins theme.
These missions currently include the Herschel Space Observatory, the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST), the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Stratospheric
Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), and the Spitzer Space Telescope. STScI in Baltimore, Md., administers the Hubble Fellowship Program for NASA.

More than 310 of the most prominent and active scientists in this field have been
supported at a crucial phase in their careers by this program, and the Hubble
Fellowship Program continues to be one of the highlights of NASA's pursuit of
excellence in space science. The new Hubble Fellows will begin their programs in
the fall of 2013.
